Cheryl's clothing, Tornado Shelter

Here is another fashionable dress worn by my sister Cheryl, around 1968. (Click on photos to make them bigger.)

I like this hat and dress. Look at that long collar.
Also, I want you to see the tornado shelter behind her, that was in our back yard in Cleveland, Oklahoma. You can see the slanted door.

Here is a picture of Carla and Jamey riding on a Whirlygig toy, and behind them you can see the tornado shelter better. (In later posts I will tell about the yellow ferris wheel you can see behind them.) It was a cement hole in the ground, with two roof vent chimneys sticking out for ventilation. (Larry has a boat upside down on some sawhorses.) There was a slanted door with a pulley system to help you pull the door open.

We had a few tornado watches and warnings while we lived there, but we never ever had to use the "Fraidy Hole" (named for fraidycats).
